Black Soldier Fly (BSF) maggots play a vital role in eco-friendly waste management through their natural and efficient processing of organic waste. By utilizing food scraps, livestock manure, and agricultural residues as feed, BSF larvae help reduce the volume of waste that would otherwise end up in landfills, thereby lowering greenhouse gas emissions such as methane produced by waste decomposition. Furthermore, the resulting protein- and fat-rich maggot biomass serves as an alternative animal feed, reducing dependency on conventional feed sources that often have a higher environmental footprint.
This degradation process also produces high-quality organic fertilizer, supporting sustainable agriculture. Thus, BSF maggots not only aid in waste management but also contribute to the circular economy and overall environmental impact reduction.
